It is said in any number of places that Peter had a son Samuel. He is designated J3c.

Whether I have for sure identified the correct Samuel is open for discussion. I picked this one because he too is buried in Orwigsburg. His 1817 birth date seems a little late to me, but Peter married in 1793 so there is not room for another generation.

The Samuel buried in Orwigsburg is definitely the Samuel age 33 listed in North Manheim Township in 1850 with wife Ala (Abigail I assume) and daughter Catharine age 9. Also present in the household is Jacob Deibert age 18. The Dauphin County history says Samuel’s sister Rosina married Jacob Deibert - I have found them in the 1850 Census living in Orwigsburg, Jacob age 42, his wife Rosina 41 — so the 18-year old Jacob living with Samuel was no doubt their son).

This little fact, Jacob Diebert living with this particular Samuel in 1850, gives credibility to the Dauphin County history and is very strong evidence that I have correctly identified this particular Samuel as Peter’s son.

His find-a-grave memorial says he was the husband of Abigail Ketner, they had been married 17 years and he was the father of two daughters.
